Bill Clinton awards $1M to refugee ridesharing startup, Fox Business

Former President Bill Clinton awarded $1 million in seed funding to four Pakistani-American students who created a ridesharing rickshaw startup service to help refugees—especially women—travel to major points of interest in Pakistan.

The startup, called Roshni Rides, was developed by Rutgers University students who were participating in the 2017 Hult Prize Foundation competition that showcases more than 10,000 student volunteers in more than 500 on-campus university programs around the world. This year's challenge, which was issued by Clinton himself, was to find a way to restore human dignity and rights to millions of displaced people by 2022.
